Chelan County Public Works will close Chumstick Highway at Beaver Hill near Plain from Aug. 10 for about three weeks to build a retaining wall following a winter landslide. The closure will be full, with detours on either side, and work was delayed from July due to material procurement delays by contractor Hurst Construction. The $790,000 project, funded by federal emergency funds and county road funds, extends an existing wall by 150 feet and stabilizes nearby slopes. WSDOT will also repair Chumstick Highway from milepost 0. 26 to 19 with one-lane traffic during the same period, using flaggers and pilot cars.
